Humoral immunity in leprosy: immunoglobulin G and M antibody responses to Mycobacterium leprae in relation to various disease patterns.

abstract：:In a mouse model of thermal injury, an increase in burn size produced a decrease in the ratio of Candida albicans cells adherent to the marginal zone to those adherent to the white pulp of the spleen, an increase in the number of Candida cells in the circulation and in the kidneys, and an increase in mortality. ...
